3=\frac{5}{9}+x
Multiply \frac{1}{9} and 5 to get \frac{5}{9}.
\frac{5}{9}+x=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=3-\frac{5}{9}
Subtract \frac{5}{9} from both sides.
x=\frac{27}{9}-\frac{5}{9}
Convert 3 to fraction \frac{27}{9}.
x=\frac{27-5}{9}
Since \frac{27}{9} and \frac{5}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
